Get Help and Assistance from Our Everett Adoption Attorneys

An Everett divorce can be a trying experience, and when children are involved the emotional strain can be almost unbearable. If you’re involved in a divorce where an adoption is necessary, it is important that you get legal assistance from qualified Everett adoption lawyers who are experienced handling these sensitive cases.

Washington State law says that a child is eligible for adoption if one or both biological parents have their parental rights terminated in Everett family court. Under these circumstances a child is eligible for adoption, but you need to understand the process with help from our Everett adoption and family law lawyers before taking any action.

The termination of parental rights in Everett can be voluntary or involuntary depending on the situation. In some cases one party might intentionally relinquish their parental rights so the child can be adopted by another person. Experience with family law is vital in these cases, so we strongly urge you to work directly with Everett adoption attorneys who can help you manage these sensitive cases. In many such adoption cases the court requires that you retain a qualified Everett attorney.

With over 30 years of collective experience, our Everett adoption lawyers have handled many cases of divorce where artful litigation was essential. Our goal is to help you get the best end result possible and act in the best interests of your child.

Our Adoption Attorneys in Everett Explain Stepparent Adoption

One of the most common situations for an adoption in Washington is when a stepparent conducts an adoption of a spouse’s child. In such cases, one biological parent relinquishes their parental rights, making it possible for their ex-spouse’s new partner to adopt the child and gain parental rights of their own. This process can be sensitive, and our Everett adoption attorneys can guide your actions to avoid conflict and aggravation.

The process for this type of Everett adoption is simple if both parties agree to the action. In situations where a parent does not want to give up their parental rights, it might be possible to pursue a forced termination in Everett court. However, sometimes it is not possible for our Everett adoption lawyers to successfully garner such an action.

The details of your situation are important when gauging the chances of success. You can talk to one of our legal professionals in Everett today via a free consultation. The decision to adopt is not one you took lightly, and you should exercise the same care when retaining an Everett legal professional you can trust.

"I can't say enough great things about Jason Newcombe Law Office. I am retired military and I highly recommend Jason Newcombe Law Office. I reached out to Jason's office after sitting for hours reviewing multiple Domestic Violence Law Offices in King County. He responded before that day was over. I spoke with Jason's both in-person and by phone; felt very comfortable with his years of experience and straight talk. He took on my case, took me through the process with sound advice. The Attorney Erin Lane who accompanied me with my court appearances; can't praise and thank her enough for her time, selflessness and educational information prior to each court appearance. She made a really daunting task for me less fearful, given such grim circumstances. I am forever grateful for Jason and the Team of Attorneys." Tommy Harville
